The best love story ever. Debra Winger and Anthony Hopkins are first rate in this film. It is a story packed with emotion. Because it's a true story, feelings are magnified. Too often love stories are improbable with fairy tale endings. Shadowlands focuses on the personal life of one man (C.S. Lewis) and one woman (Joy Gresham) and their unique relationship. I would recommend this movie to anyone, especially history buffs. But, be warned, it may evoke strong feelings of love and sadness.
